Stabilized sludge reflux tank
Thread Content
Why does the liquefied gas at the top of the stabilizer enter the tank from the bottom of the stabilizer reflux tank after being cooled by water?
Some enter from the top of the tank, some from the bottom – what’s the difference?
Perhaps to reduce liquid level fluctuations? I guessed it
The reflux tank contains a gas-liquid two-phase mixture, with the gas phase located in the upper part of the tank and the liquid phase in the lower part. There are several methods for controlling the pressure at the top of the stabilizer, including thermal bypass control and choke control. However, whether it is cooled by air or water, the liquefied gas at the top of the tower is generally completely condensed; therefore, it must enter the liquid phase from the bottom of the tank to ensure stable pressure and liquid level； In the thermal bypass, liquefied gas enters the gas phase from the top of the tank, which prevents the formation of a liquid seal.
